Transposition
What
is
Transposition?
Whenever
you have to change the key of the music you’re playing,
whether it’s to fit in with the needs of other instruments, or to make
it easier to sing along with, or to simplify the key to suit your own
playing abilities - that’s a transposition.
MasterKey,
with one quick adjustment, shows you all the notes (or chords) in your
‘old key’ right next to all their equivalents in your ‘new key’. And
we’re talking ‘any old key’ to ‘any new key’ here. Not just C to F, but
E flat to B flat, A to D - you name it!
If
you’re playing marked chords on a song-sheet, you can make the
transposition ‘in real time’, glancing between the music and MasterKey
at each new chord.
When
it comes to more complex music, MasterKey
gives you rock-solid,
note-perfect transpositions that you can prepare in advance.
Who
needs to transpose?
Any
instrument that plays more
than one note - so we’re eliminating the triangle, for example - plays
music in one key or another, and has to handle different keys.
Transposition is needed.
Those of you who play ‘transposing
instruments’ have a special need,
as you already know. Clarinets, horns, trombones - these and other
instruments have to have their music written in a different key to
non-transposing instruments, so that they all sound the same.
Bandmasters, we could say, live to transpose,
with several different
versions of the same tune needed for their various transposing
instruments - and MasterKey
makes their job easy and accurate.
Singers,
with their different ranges, can either manage the key that a song is
written in, or not. If not, the instruments have to change key.
Transpose, everyone!
